That looked like the way to do it but I haven't tried yet.

I tried and it mostly works, but for rustc/cargo in particular you also have to set the $TERM environment variable to "xterm" [1].

Interestingly, I've gotten used to checking $TERM and making sure it's set due to entering Docker containers to poke around them: in a lot of images, it's unset, and you get really old-school terminal emulator behaviour without it!
